Playing on Mac using Vino (No Bootcamp, No VM)
A complete guide to running AoE II HD on Mac using Vino (without running Windows), meant for the average Steam user to exist able to follow easily.
Announcements
i/27/2020: In case y'all haven't guessed, this guide is super outdated. I recently tried to install the game on Wine and found that Steam is entirely broken in Wine due to issues with the Chrome renderer. I approximate nobody cares to fix it now that Steam Play + Proton are available, simply sadly those are not on Mac, Linux only. This game's multiplayer is so glitchy (worse than the old 1999 Mac version) that I don't want to play anyway.
5/sixteen/2015: I'm all the same busy with college and work, but I had a little time to play AoE 2 HD recently and noticed that my onetime Wine wrapper from the original guide was broken! Luckily, I institute that PlayOnMac has updated its Steam bottle, so it works now with AoE Ii Hard disk drive! So I've chop-chop updated the guide, removing all the piles of old junk.
Intro (skip if you want)
What is Wine? Wine allows Intel Macs to run Windows programs in Mac OS 10 without a virtual machine. That is, the Windows OS itself is not involved. Information technology as well runs on other Unix-based OSs on whatsoever Intel PC. It is faster and much more convenient than a VM. Theoretically, it could be faster than running the programs in Windows with Boot Camp, but this is usually non the case (actually, information technology tends to be slightly slower).
Wine is finicky, and sure Windows programs won't run properly in it. Steam complicates the setup, too. So I cannot guarantee that this will work for you. The most reliable (just least convenient) way to play this game is to play it in Windows in a VM or Boot Camp. Just I have been playing this game exclusively in Wine for quite some time and honey it.
What should work:
- Singleplayer (stable and without lag, campaigns not tested much).
- Multiplayer games and lobbies (stable and without lag, low ping, tested frequently).
- The Forgotten DLC (non extensively tested).
- Map Editor.
- Plays pretty nicely with desktop features in Mac Bone X, including Exposé, with but minor problems.
- Full screen mode and windowed mode, with a resizable window.
- Steam.
- Steam notifications, such as incoming conversation messages, announced as minimized windows in the Dock.
- Steam Workshop subscriptions.
What doesn't work… at to the lowest degree not yet:
- Steam in-game overlay.
- The "invite" button in AoE Ii HD. You have to use the "invite to game" menu particular for the friend in Steam.
- Intro videos.
- The launcher window is glitchy. This guide shows you how to skip it.
- When typing in any text fields, including the chat window, you cannot see text until you press return. This is the only serious problem.
Arrangement Requirements:
- An Intel processor. Motorola processors (G5, G4, G3, earlier) will not work at all.
- Decent hardware. Whatsoever Intel Mac desktop should be adept enough, but older MacBook Airs and circa 2007 Mac laptops might be pushed hard.
List of Tested and Confirmed Mac Os X Versions:
Works in 10.11.4 "El Capitan".
Instructions
ane. Download, install, and open PlayOnMac: https://www.playonmac.com/en/
2. Press "Install" (plus button) in the PlayOnMac principal window. Search for Steam. Install it. Don't check "run Steam now" or whatsoever information technology says when it's done.
iii. You should now have a Steam icon in your PlayOnMac main window. Only if yous don't, hit "Configure" (gear push button). Click on the Steam prefix. Under the "General" tab, press "Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive". Expect for it to scan, then create a shortcut for Steam, then striking cancel to get back.
4. You should really now accept a Steam icon in your PlayOnMac main window. Select it, and press "Run" (play push button).
v. Log into Steam, and install the game similar you'd do it in Windows. Run the game. The launcher window might exist missing text on its buttons, but you lot can click the buttons anyway. Take fun!
FAQ
Q: This is so easy. Why bother making a guide?
A: The process used to be longer and more complicated. I had to figure out a lot of hacks to brand information technology work. The old guide was much, much longer. Luckily, things outside of my control have recently inverse to improve the situation, and so I updated the guide and so people don't try any crazy stuff like before. It is a little sad, though, since I put a lot of work into my one-time guide ;_;
Q: Did you play on GameRanger?
A: Aye, my name was ßømß or something.
Q: Why don't yous just run Windows?
A: I apply OS 10 for school and work, and I occasionally play games. This is the only Windows-only game I play (thanks, MSFT), and I don't feel similar booting into Windows every time or running a VM to play it. Surely others will find Wine much more convenient, too.
Q: Can I play other Windows-only games in Steam through PlayOnMac?
A: Yes, you tin in some cases! Give information technology a shot. I used to practise it for Unturned. I don't know what works and what doesn't. Wine and PlayOnMac are both constantly improving, and games are constantly being patched, so everything is up in the air.
Q: Can y'all assist me with running some other game?
A: Chances are I don't have the game, and I rarely have gratuitous time, and so sorry... Ask a tech-savvy friend to help.
Yous need to sign in or create an account to practice that.
